Another Personality Test

[queerbychoice]

Despite the fact that this test insists it's not Myers-Briggs, I think my "Mastermind" (Introvert rather than Extrovert, Ideas rather than Facts, Head rather than Heart, Planner rather than Spontaneous) result sounds an awful lot like my INTJ results.

Summary of Masterminds:

• Visionaries who put energy into achieving their goals
• Prefer to work independently and dislike inefficiency
• Think of themselves as logical, thorough, and bright
• Values practicality and common sense above ideas and theories (This item is the only one I disagree with)

More about Masterminds:

Masterminds create a vision for the future by gathering and organising information. They then develop strategies to achieve their goals. They have a rare gift for looking at almost anything and seeing how it can be improved. These skills and the Masterminds' high standards often allow them to reach leadership positions at work.

Mastermind is the least common personality type in the UK, according to a nationwide survey.

Masterminds value independence and prefer to work on their own. Once they have decided on a course of action, Masterminds rarely change their minds, although they can be persuaded by clear reasoning by someone they respect.

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Masterminds may cut themselves off from a group and criticize people who don't understand their plans. Under extreme stress, Masterminds may overindulge in sensory experiences like eating, shopping or watching television. (Eh . . . maybe I'm just not under extreme stress much.)

Masterminds often have an unusual sense of humour, which arises from their ability to spot surprising links between seemingly unconnected facts.

Mastermind Careers:

Masterminds are drawn to jobs requiring logical analysis or abstract thinking common in science or technical fields.

Okay, somebody offer me a job requiring logical analysis and abstract thinking then.

And now, a personality test for all of you: how did you manage to come out more than half normal?

i'm INTJ too! at least, as best i remember. and yes, that sounds like it was made up in rip-off-city.

[jet.livejournal.com]

yes, i've heard INTJs referred to as masterminds.

i flip between INTJ and INFJ.

[queerbychoice.livejournal.com]

I used to be INTP, and still very occasionally score as INTP, but for the most part these days I come up consistently INTJ. And I'm really extreme about the I, N, and T parts.

[madcaptenor.livejournal.com]

Well, those four pairs certainly sound like the four Myers-Briggs pairs. So yeah, I'd call that INTJ.

Incidentally, I'm usually INFP, but sometimes INFJ. This test calls me an INFJ ("Counsel[l]or (http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/whatamilike/index_5.shtml?counsellor)"). And at least some of the names are the same as the names used here (http://keirsey.com/matrix.html).

hm, doesn't ring a bell. :p

Summary of Idealists

Make sense of the world using inner values
Focus on personal growth and the growth of others
Think of themselves as bright, forgiving and curious
May sometimes appear stubborn
More about Idealists

Idealists put time and energy into developing personal values that they use as a guide through life. They may seek fulfilment by helping others improve themselves and often want to make the world a better place. Idealists only share their inner values with people they respect.

Idealists enjoy discussions about a wide range of topics, particularly those that deal with the future. They are typically easy-going and flexible, but if their values are challenged they may refuse to compromise.

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Idealists may have trouble expressing themselves and withdraw. Under extreme stress, Idealists may become very critical of others, or lose confidence in their own ability to cope.

Recognition for their work is important to Idealists; however, they are also good at spotting false praise.

Idealist Careers

Idealists are often drawn to jobs where they can help people reach their potential. They are also attracted to careers that allow artistic creativity.

That is a very good description of you! The only part I'm not sure about is whether you like discussing the future. Well, and I don't see you as especially "easy-going and flexible" very much of the time, but that's probably because there isn't very much of the time that your values aren't being challenged.

So, on Myers-Briggs tests do you generally score as INFP? I don't remember ever having heard your Myers-Briggs category.

[gamesiplay.livejournal.com]

Hey, I get Mastermind when I take that test, too. I also get INTJ on Myers-Briggs, so I'd be suspicious.

[seifaiden.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I`m an INTJ Mastermind as well. How mysterious...
